An alternative approach to diagnosis and treatment of intractable paroxysmal sneezing in a child

This case illustrates the complex interplay between psychogenic stressors and tic-like manifestations in pediatric intractable paroxysmal sneezing. The positive response to risperidone underscores the potential role of dopamine antagonist treatments in managing such cases. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management, ultimately enhancing patient quality of life.

Abstract

This case illustrates the complex interplay between psychogenic stressors and tic-like manifestations in pediatric intractable paroxysmal sneezing. The positive response to risperidone underscores the potential role of dopamine antagonist treatments in managing such cases. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management, ultimately enhancing patient quality of life.
